Heat index

The heat index value during August is calculated to be an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Shield yourself from the harmful effects of UV radiation with sun-protective attire, a hat, and quality sunglasses.
